Game 5. Will the Nets force a sixth game? Heat in 5? Find out through tweets.
1ST QUARTER
7 p.m. games that start right at 7 p.m. are the best. Thank you, Blazers.

Agree. Recommend 10/10.
Deron Williams continues to get to the basket and fail miserably once he does.
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 14, 2014
D-Will is 29 and declining. 29.
Wade not thinking as much tonight. Just playing. Distinct difference from first 4 games of series.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 14, 2014
Good start for Wade. He was spotty in Game 4.
That’s one!
2ND QUARTER
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 14, 2014
The first thing Mirza Teletovic’s says in 10 years when he’s retired.
28-27 Brooklyn.
MIA never does this, but you'd think they could go to Bosh to create his own offense a little bit on occasion. He's got Kirilenko on him now
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 14, 2014
I say this a lot.
Foul.
Shaun Livingston, so good on the block.
— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) May 14, 2014
He’s so good in the mid-post area. During the regular season from 5-9 feet, 50-of-100 (50 percent). From 10-14 feet, 57-of-120(47 percent).
How much is Wade into this game: he screamed about the no-call WHILE sprinting back on defense.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 14, 2014
Not as good as Westbrook’s complain while he was in mid-shot.
Were shooting 39.9% as a team from deep coming into tonight. RT @IraHeatBeat: Heat 0 for 9 on 3-pointers.
— Jared Wade (@Jared_Wade) May 14, 2014
Stat update.
One of my better tweets. 36-35 Nets.
The Heat are now 0-of-11 from 3. And other than one ill-advised one from Cole, they've been good looks.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 14, 2014
Nets packing the paint and over rotating toward LeBron. James Jones just made one. 42-41 Heat.
Beasley can't miss the 3's that Lewis is missing or...
— Michael Saenz (@mikedsaenz) May 15, 2014
Rashard Lews is washed. Why can’t Beasley get out there?
Heat just 1/16 from 3-point territory in the first half, while Brooklyn has only attempted 9. Keep the pace slower, Nets, and force Game 6
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 15, 2014
49-42 Nets. We’re at the half.
HALFTIME (Steve Kerr update)
Heat go 1-for-16 from deep in the first half and only trail by 7 points! Chalmers the main culprit, going 0-for-5.
— Simon Legg (@Simon_Legg) May 15, 2014
C’mon Rio.
Stunner: Steve Kerr spurns the Knicks, accepts Warriors' head coach job. Story coming on http://t.co/tv9kc59jsI.
— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) May 15, 2014
WHOAAAAAA!!
What a KerrveBall.
— E’Twaun Paramoore (@Marco_Romo) May 15, 2014
/blocked.
So, seems inevitable that Phil Jackson is going to be forced back into coaching.
— Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) May 15, 2014
Home games only?
LOL.
Different side. Others believe GSW is a better choice.
Wow, Bosh just blows by KG. Nice right hand drive.
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 15, 2014
3RD QUARTER
Wow, Bosh just blows by KG. Nice right hand drive.
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 15, 2014
I like when Bosh gets involved as a ball in hand guy rather than spot up. Although he is good at both.
Knicks need a coach? pic.twitter.com/i8T7nbXWan

Recommend.
Asked person w/ knowledge if there were any options on Kerr's five-year, $25 mil deal with Warriors: "Straight five years."
— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) May 15, 2014
Update.
Heat took 3 possessions to erase the Nets' 7-point lead. The Nets took 4 possessions to get it back.
— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) May 15, 2014
Oh hey, a tweet about the game.
LeBron seeing 4 Nets whenever he gets to paint.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 15, 2014
Nets’ defense is length on length.
LeBron remains incredible. 61-55 Nets.
🙁
Joe Johnson is trying to take this back to Brooklyn by himself. And, so far, it's working.
— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) May 15, 2014
ISO JOE.
That pass by Joe Johnson was ridiculous. Fadeaway jump pass to a guy he couldn't have known was open. Was MJ closed-eye FT impressive.
— Jared Wade (@Jared_Wade) May 15, 2014
75-66 Nets
4TH QUARTER
114 Ortg for BKN, 99 for MIA. 66 and 67 poss respectively
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 15, 2014
Stat update.
Joe Johnson have it all.
— SB Nation NBA 🏀 (@SBNationNBA) May 15, 2014
Iso Joe hitting ridiculous shots.
Chris Bosh: The ultimate role player. That is a major compliment, to be clear.
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 15, 2014
Yup. 84-78 Nets.
JOE JOHNSON THO.
— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) May 15, 2014
Joe Johnson actually cannot miss. 91-83 Nets.
Rebound for Chris Bosh!
— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) May 15, 2014
ONE! 91-88 NETS.
Nets going home tonight?
— JRSportBrief (@JRSportBrief) May 15, 2014
About to find out. 91-90. Less than a minute remains.
Splashhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
— Chris Smoove (@Chris_Smoove) May 15, 2014
Ray Allen hits a three. Because of course. 93-91 Heat.
Horrible pass that Ray Allen has to relocate for yet he still catches so smoothly and releases that so quickly with a guy in his mug. #GOAT
— Jared Wade (@Jared_Wade) May 15, 2014
Eloquent.
Minimum salary point guard posts up as the $20 million dollar one stands the whole time in the corner.
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 15, 2014
OOF. Heat ball. 93-91.
Joe Johnson corner three. 95-94.
LeBron James was 14-of-15 from the line, but he splits a pair of free throws and the Nets have the ball down by 2 with 9.5 seconds left.
— NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) May 15, 2014
Here we go.
Hello.
That's clearly Clippers ball
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) May 15, 2014
LOL.
Heat are 1st team to make 4 straight conference finals since 2003-2008 Pistons
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 15, 2014
That’s a final. Heat in the conference finals.
